ruffle up

Love a ruffle. I picked this one up at H&M. This is how good it looks on super stylist Martha Ward. More ruffle inspiration here, love this See by Chloe. 

white summer dressing

If you missed out on the top they've just added the dress version here. If you prefer more structure this one-shoulder dress is exactly like the Tibi one, or you could try this jumpsuit. Pack the wet wipes and don't sit down anywhere. How very relaxing. 

the clutch bag goes on holiday

Inside your giant pom pom bag (more on those very soon) you need a small clutch. 

This is great. So is this one. And this one.

chloe style at h&m

In case you don't fancy exposing this much at the park/pub here is an H and M alternative which I snapped up in April. It flew off the internet but stores seem to have some stock left so keep hunting and go a few sizes down x

dungarees...overalls...jumpsuits

Nope these aren't for me. They're for the little man. I bought Gap toddler girl overalls a few sizes up, the legs are slimmer. For a similar look (for you)... Madewell, Gap, H and M, Selected Femme, looove this below at Reformation, Anthropologie.

The espadrille has had a makeover, and yes they are allowed in the city. Stripes (above) by Soludos. Leopard print at Topshop. Snakey by H&M. Suede beauties by Aquazzura. Gold and metallic at Zara. Smoking slipper style by Soludos.

h&m sequined out

Sorry for the late post this week, I've been at a wedding in Switzerland, a lot of fun, I will post pics soon. Now you may look at these and think ridiculous….but honestly they are great. Add a baggy jumper or t-shirt and they can look brilliant, plus you could add a blazer for a party…and all for only 39.95 USD, sold out in store but still available online x

h&m lace skirt as seen on fashion me now

Love this lacy skirt from H&M, spotted on Lucy from fashion me now. I cant find it in the US, but you Brits are in luck.

loving the h&m floral print dress

Loving these floral print dresses from H&M. Add stylish accessories (vintage bag, cute short boots, gold cuff or layer a big necklace for the evening) and nobody will know it cost 30 USD!

h&m collaborate with maison martin margiela

Will you be queuing for this new H&M designer collaboration? Check out the video from last night's starry launch in this amazing venue in New York. I  love these looks...see the whole collection here. Maison Martin Margiela for H&M lands on November 15, get your sleeping bag ready. 

what to buy...marni at h&m

Are you going to queue for Marni at H&M?  I think I'd rather chew my arm off. I wholeheartedly approve of this designer collaboration though, I love Marni and their standout prints and chunky jewellery. If you brave the mayhem...head straight for these...launches this Thursday 8 March...

 

spring summer 2012 trends....pretty pastels

I seem to wear a duvet most days at the moment, so to ease the pain of this temporary glamour void I am looking at pastel colours for Spring. Search the back of your wardrobe, and/or the sales for anything blush pink, strawberry pink, jade green, baby blue, tangerine orange and eeeeeek...yellow, and you'll be way ahead of the pack in April.

Now, stay stylish and I promise to be back soon x

h&m autumn winter 2011 preview

Hello readers. I'm majorly struggling today after a boozy Tory Burch party last night, so please forgive my ramblings. I popped along to the H&M Autumn/Winter preview on Thursday. Loved what they had in store for next season. Lots of 60s and 70s vibes, orange, volume, low backs, tweeds, browns, more orange, camels, greens and print...so much gorgeous print. I have a million pics but have tried to edit it down to show you some of the collections below...in stores from July-October. Now off to drown in another cup of tea, then I might brave a lager and lime oooooooooooo.

coachella cool

The girls at Coachella put us in the mood for spring/summer dressing, here are my four favourite looks...and how you can find them...

Teresa Palmer in an adorable All Saints dress, p.s it is in the sale...

Denim shorts and stripes work every time (espesh with gorgeous brown legs), I always find the best denim shorts in H&M

Diane Kruger always looks superbly cool. I found this similar skirt at American Apparel

Harley Viera Newton. Stunning, love this lace dress and splash of colour with her mini Celine bag
